The '''Energy Science and Technology Database''' (EDB) is a [[multidisciplinary]] file containing worldwide references to [[basic science|basic]] and [[applied science|applied scientific]] and technical [[research|research literature]]. The information is collected for use by (United States) [[U.S. government|government]] managers, [[researchers]] at the [[United States Department of Energy national laboratories|national laboratories]], and other research efforts sponsored by the [[U.S. Department of Energy]], and the results of this research are transferred to the public. Abstracts are included for records from 1976 to the present day.

==Nuclear Science Abstracts==

The EDB also contains the [[''Nuclear Science Abstracts]]'' which is a comprehensive abstract and index collection to the international [[nuclear science]] and [[nuclear technology|technology]] literature for the period 1948 through 1976. Included are scientific and technical reports of the [[US Atomic Energy Commission]], United States [[Energy Research and Development Administration]] and its contractors, other agencies, universities, and industrial and research organizations. Approximately 25% of the records in the file contain abstracts. Nuclear Science Abstracts contains over 900,000 bibliographic records. In comparison, the entire '''Energy Science &and Technology Database''' contains over 3 million bibliographic records.<ref name=WhatIs-EDB/>

==EDB Scope==

Moreover, this database is designed to be a source for any individual who requires access to worldwide [[energy]] related [[information]]. This database is applicable to the following:

*Obtaining results of current [[energy research]] efforts.<ref name=WhatIs-EDB/>

*Access subject specific information on energy sources, use, and [[energy conservation| conservation]]; [[environmental impact assessment|environmental effects]]; [[hazardous waste|waste processing]] and disposal; regulatory consideration, as well as basic scientific studies.

*Review energy information from a wide variety of sources, including journal literature, conference, patents, books, monographs, theses, and engineering and software materials.

*Access historical records of the US Atomic Energy Commission, and US Energy Research and Development Administration.

*Review subject specific information on nuclear science from a wide variety of sources, including books, conference proceedings, papers, [[patents]], dissertations, engineering drawings, and [[Scientific journal|journal literature]].<ref name=WhatIs-EDB/>

==Sources==

A combination of national, and international agencies, as well as multiple non-governmental organizations are the source for, and provide information to, this database. Information is provided through the [[Energy Technology Data Exchange]] (ETDE), which is the International Energy Agency's (IEA) multilateral information program, and through the International Atomic Energy Agency's [[International Nuclear Information System]] (INIS), and [[IEA Coal Research]]. Other source information is provided by the [[U.S. Department of Energy]], its contractors, other government agencies, [[professional societies]]. [[Engineering]] and [[software]] materials, references to [[Scientific journal|journal literature]], [[Academic conference|conference]]s, [[patents]], books, [[monograph]]s, and [[thesis]], make up the files of this database. Approximately 50% of these references are from non-U.S. sources.<ref name=multi-source>{{Cite web| last =Dialog Bluesheets| title =Energy Science and Technology| publisher =Dialog, LLC| date =June 1, 2010| url =http://library.dialog.com/bluesheets/html/bl0103.html| accessdate =2010-06-29| archive-date =2011-07-10| archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20110710122839/http://library.dialog.com/bluesheets/html/bl0103.html| url-status =dead}}</ref>
